0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm Carol Masser along with Tim Stanevik. Let's get to

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>some stocks on the move in the house. Bloomberg News

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Equities reporter Alexandra Semonova.

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:26.119
<v Speaker 2>Good to have you here. There are some great.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Good to be here, some big movers today.

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 3>I realized that if we're not talking about geopolitical headlines,

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 3>then we're talking about an AI deal. And given the

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 3>calm that we're experiencing right now in the headline front,

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to tell you guys about core Weave, which

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 3>is up about three percent today. This is after it

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 3>struck a twenty one billion dollar deal with Meta Platforms.

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.520
<v Speaker 3>They already have an existing relationship and this is deepening

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.840
<v Speaker 3>that relationship. Core We've now holds thirty five billion dollars

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 3>in contracts with metap, making the tech firm one of

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 3>its largest customers. And the goal here is, of course,

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Meta kind of trying to build out its AI models.

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Core Weave will provide a cloud capacity to Meta from

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:12.759
<v Speaker 3>multiple data centers powered in part also by Nvidia's systems

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 3>of chips and Meta also up about two point five percent.

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>So these are those neo clouds, right, it's kind of

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:19.759
<v Speaker 1>like outsourcing, right, your.

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 4>Data Centervi Nevius is another one of those.

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>But it's like kind of you know, right, for computing power.

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>And so I find other folks with.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 4>Big data, the opposite of the hyperscalers.

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Correct, right, who are doing which is meta?

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 4>And this is a nice Livingston, New Jersey company too.

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:34.839
<v Speaker 4>Don't forget New Jersey.

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 1>We do it so well.

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 3>Also testament of how intertwined all these companies are.

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing that makes me very fascinate, right, It

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>just you just wonder, you know, real or creating demand.

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>And I guess time will tell on this.

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 4>And that's a question about core Weave in its business model.

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 4>Because sixty seven percent of its revenue, according to the

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 4>supply chain function on the Bloomberg terminal, comes from Microsoft.

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Then it's eight percent from meta platforms, five percent from

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 4>out bet, and than one point six from IBM. So

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 4>four customers, basically.

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean good customers. Right, If you're going to

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>have four, those are good ones. But if anything changes

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>dramatically in their business situations. That's going to have a

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>big impact on COREED. Let's go to Caravana.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I love talking about this company because of its

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 3>turnaround story. It basically came back from the dead. It

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 3>surged ten thousand percent. You guys remember from being a

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 3>four dollars stock to four hundred dollars last year. But

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 3>under pressure now it is sliding. Today looks like it's

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 3>down about two point nine percent, less of a decline

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 3>than earlier in the day, was down as much as

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 3>six point six percent. This is after JP Morgan cut

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 3>its price target on the car retailer. Basically, they slashed

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.679
<v Speaker 3>their estimates for the company's twenty twenty six EBIT top

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 3>They cited weaker than expected industry demand, ongoing higher fuel expenses,

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 3>and kind of general pressure and kind of customers moving

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 3>away from this business model. They are, of course, that

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 3>company that has those car vending machine. I guess their

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 3>expectation is that with higher oil prices and consumers being

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 3>a little bit cash strapped, they're not going to be

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 3>buying those cars.

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that kind of makes sense. I don't know. Yeah,

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>but this one is I agree with you. I think

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>it's just a fascinating story, and it's I almost feel

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 1>like it's a great business school case study, just kind

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>of the highs and lows. And definitely this company, let's

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>go to Chevron, makes sense to be talking about one

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of the major oil companies here.

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so you would think that an increase in oil

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.679
<v Speaker 3>prices would be a boon for some of these companies,

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 3>but it actually was a lot more complicated than that,

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 3>given these shipping blockades and the strait of horror moves.

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Exxon and Chevron lost about six percent of their global

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 3>production in the first quarter. Shells gas output was five

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 3>percent lower, largely because of what is going on in

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 3>the Middle East. So it's been a really difficult quarter

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 3>for them. Analysts are lowering their forecasts actually after these

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 3>reports for Exon and Chevron's first quarter results after the

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 3>company is disclosed about seven billion dollars in mark to

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 3>market or a bit of losses combined. And Jeffrey's analyst said,

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 3>very simply, the Middle East makes it a messy quarter.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Pretty much the takeaway here.

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, Chevron, for example, down today but up

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 4>twenty five percent so far this year. You have to

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 4>wonder what's been baked in over the last few weeks,

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 4>those investors have been like, wait a second, we have

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 4>these higher energy prices, we have an issue when it

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.720
<v Speaker 4>comes to supply, a supply shock. You know, we're going

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.359
<v Speaker 4>to buy the stock at this point, I don't know.

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So obviously the bar was also high getting the run.

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 4>Up that oil stock's not bad, but neat oil.

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we do.
